Overreaction? Tank cloudy after mixing salt

[Pauls Aquariums]

alright so i just added my salt, that i had mixed and let settle overnight, but my tank is now just a cloudy mess. should i keep on circulation or should i turn it off? will it just dissolve in a few hours? thanks

Of course it will help it "settle" ,once you turn your pumps back on its going to stir up all kinds of mess...Let it clear up as a working running system ,not as a standing box of water...It needs to clear up the way the system is going to be
Hope that makes sense.

yeah that makes sense. when should i get live rock, the specific gravity is good and same with everything else, maybe i should wait on it. but i now have everything running, filter and powerhead

I added my live rock 1 week after I added the saltwater/sand. Word of warning as soon as ya add your live rock your skimmer will go crazy. Once ya added the live rock you MUST!!!!!! wait about 2 weeks to a month before adding ANYTHING.
